Have you purchased a “new” Chevrolet Volt only to later find out that it had already been sold and is actually a “used” car?  Did you pay a new car price for that “used” Volt?  Further, since you were not the first purchaser, were you denied the right to take advantage of the $7,500 tax credit available to Volt purchasers?  Much to General Motors’ chagrin, some Chevrolet dealers are selling the fuel efficient Volt to other dealers or to a shell corporation owned by the dealership in order to claim the tax credit for themselves.  Once the dealership receives the tax credit for themselves, they then sell the vehicle, which is now a used car according to the title, to the consumer without disclosing the prior sale or the potential tax credit the consumer is missing out on.

With an acute fluctuation in the economy, people are thinking twice before investing in new cars.  New vehicles depreciate rapidly and it makes a lot of financial sense to buy a pre-owned car. By the time you buy a used vehicle in Texas, its price may have already stabilized to a plateau with only the slightest depreciation towards the next year. Since buying a vehicle is the second most expensive purchase one makes, researching is of the highest priority to avoid buying a used lemon car.

However, while section 2301.602 of the Texas Occupations Code dealing with the Regulation of Motor Vehicles and Transportation refers only to the new motor vehicles, a used vehicle may still be covered under the Texas lemon law.

• The Texas lemon law covers your used vehicle if it is still covered by the manufacturer's original warranty
• The Texas lemon law applies to your used vehicle if the problem started while under warranty
• The Texas lemon law does not cover extended service contracts
• The Texas lemon law remedies are limited to repair assistance in the warranty-related problem of your Texas used vehicle
• The Texas lemon law does not entitle you to a repurchase or replacement of an used vehicle

In view of all these points it is of highest priority that you protect yourself before you purchase an used vehicle in Texas.

If you are planning to buy an used car:

• Research thoroughly online
• Consult newspapers for advertisements
• Visit used car lots/sellers
• Run car history reports from multiple vehicle history service report providers like the AutoCheck and CarFax
